IndieHacked reports indie building as it stands.
The numbers, the work behind them and the people who did it. Then we back them. We inform first; support that bends the facts is no support.
What we cover

How we handle numbers
Every number on IndieHacked carries its source and its date in the same line. We never round up to flatter: $4,200 is not almost $5k. Where one founder hit a big number, we say how many did not, when we know.
- Self-reportedThe founder told us. We say so next to the number.
- VerifiedWe saw the revenue dashboard ourselves, and we give the date we saw it.
- PublicFrom an open-startup page, a filing or a press release, linked.
Corrections and sponsors
When we get something wrong, the correction goes at the foot of the story with the date and what changed. We never edit a story silently.
Sponsored content and affiliate links are labelled every time they appear. No ranking on IndieHacked is ever paid for.
How advertising worksWho is behind it
My whole career has been about getting people and businesses to perform at their peak. Indie builders do that every day with no team behind them. IndieHacked gives them the real numbers, the real stories and the tools, told straight. Nothing beats action.
